Reviews
what people actually sayMenu Cart for WooCommerce is well-regarded as a simple, focused plugin for adding a cart icon to themes that lack one, though a minority of users feel the free version is too limited and exists mainly to upsell the pro version.
What people like
- +Easy to set up and works as advertised for adding a cart icon to the menu×7
- +Particularly useful for themes that don't include a built-in cart icon×4

- +Long-term reliability reported by users who have used it for multiple years×2
Common complaints
